Centrally located at 202 South Main Street, adjacent to the Hotel Monaco, Bambara occupies the lobby of the historic Continental Bank, built in 1924.  While the building's exterior retains its original cornices, sculpted faces of Norse Gods and slate gray bricks, the interior of the elegant space has been transformed with an entirely new kind of energy and artfully eccentric design.  

Now, instead of bank transactions, the focus is on the full exhibition kitchen, filling the room with scintillating aromas of pan-roasted and grilled prime meats, fresh seafood, game, and house-baked breads.

Downtown

"A delightful addition to Salt Lake City dining" crow customers who consider this "chic" New American bistro inside the Hotel Monaco "a breath of fresh air"; it's a "delectable experience" with service that makes guests feel "taken care of" and some of the "most consistently interesting food in town"; aesthetes adore the "zippy decor" in this former bank, a "grand setting" replete with "marble and ornamental iron"; a few find it a "little froufrou", but most agree it's "top-notch."
